Both 1989 NY Expo are fakes and the NGC slabs are designated as "DELETED". The seller appears to sell mostly US silvers and just start to get into Chinese gold coins. I sent him a message describing the fake. This will be a bad experience for him. Thank you for alerting CCF members.

Hope not off topic but I received a silver coin today. In the area where the silver is flaking. Underneath exposes a brownish rust colour. I seem to recall watching a Maple being cut and revealing this brownish colour in the past? Gut tells me this is certain fake, however any experienced members advice on the rust colour flaking appreciated. (Item overweight and sorry pic is not HD but sure idea gets through)Regards,Ad
